When To Visit an Endodontist Not The Emergency Room

Urgent cases, such as traumatic injuries, can cause the teeth to be drastically affected. Extreme tooth pain and other oral emergencies can be treated safely and efficiently at an endodontist’s office instead of the ER. Visiting an endodontist can provide numerous benefits to a patient in a state of emergency, and as specialists in the field of root canal surgery, endodontists provide the most effective solutions available to patients in need.

How Your Endodontist Can Help You

When patients head to the ER, many of the emergency services that are provided cannot fully treat the entire scope of the situation due to the constant influx and availability of resources. Endodontists provide many substantial benefits in cases of emergencies. Resolving tooth pain, handling traumatic injuries, and controlling severe cases of infection are just a small part of what endodontists can do best for the patient.

Endodontists can handle the challenges faced in an emergency by:

  • Repositioning and Stabilizing The Tooth
  • Prescribe Affordable Medications For Patients
  • Have Office Availability 24 Hours a Day
  • Perform Emergency Cleaning For Infections
  • Have Controlled Sanitation Procedures

Endodontists work within the confined areas of the mouth to repair and restore your teeth and gums back to health, which can eliminate the need to go to the ER and further distribute necessary hospital resources. It can reduce treatment time and help save many people’s teeth from drastic consequences. If you require an emergency service for your teeth, visit your endodontist as soon as possible.
